(NAME-MCE) Children's/YA Lit and American Indians

[Debbie Reese]

Good morning,

I had a great visit home (to Nambe Pueblo, NM) last week
and was unable to send an email last weekend with updates
to American Indians in Children's Literature.

In the "Articles" portion of my page, I've added a link to a
Horn Book article I wrote several years ago. In the "Books
Discussed" portion, I've added links to many books
including Sharon Creech's WALK TWO MOONS. In
the "Native Authors/Illustrators" section, I added links to
sites maintained by Nicola Campbell and George Littlechild.

Posts over the last two weeks are listed below. To read the
posts in their entirety, or to find info noted above, go to
